Scotty

Scotty

Captain Kirk, horizontal in sickbay,

Frowned in confusion as Bones’ attended

The broken bones, that with a cosmic ray

Of Vulcan origin, soon were mended.

The captain drowsily opened his eyes,

And asked his vice-captain, how could it be,

That he via Scotty could energise

And waken here lacking in memory?

Spock, of sound logic and long, pointed ears;

Raising his eye brows and tilting his head;

Laid blame on the chief of the engineers;

Saying how Scotty had thought Jim had said;

“Beat me up Scotty” to which he’d replied,

“Aye aye Captain”, and merrily complied.
